WhatsVirtual, a plug-in module that delivers accurate and up-to-date availability and performance visibility into VMware -based virtual server infrastructures WhatsVirtual natively integrates with the VMware vSphere API and discovers, maps, monitors and manages ESX and ESXi hosts and their associated virtual machines from a single console.

While virtualized environments reduce the overall cost of ownership, improve reliability and enhance the flexibility of IT architectures, they also make the monitoring and management of data centers more complex. Systems and datacenter managers must frequently contend with using different management tools for managing physical and virtual infrastructure, leading to fragmented views of network availability and delaying the time to problem resolution.
